forcefeild is one the things that pulls everything together specially if u get the right color. just wrap a color around the outside edge of everything. just look at ppls peices they will do the fill, outline/3d then wrap it to complete it.

Yep, it might turn out streaky, if youre talking about vinylic wall paint it wont be streaky, if you're talking about oil based paint it'll depend on the surface if its pourous or not.

Learn to use a paintbrush, you'll benefit from it much more that relying on markers.

03-11-2010, 01:29 PM

thanks for the comments on that canvas on the last page...it was oils and nope I don't have a website...once I get enough shit I'm proud of I'll probaby make one...it'll take some time though..I have decent shit here and there but nothing consistent...so when that happens I'll make one haha.....anyway...some cool shit on this page!

WIP for a friend... i never thought watching paint dry would be fun, but the drips look cool to me... plus i was smokin' the ganja.. haha. anywho, there's gonna be a blue "clue cat" in the bottom corner. i'm gonna do the other two birds with silver and black alternately... what do you think of the firs one? should i add a black outline around the very outside...

I think you should put some harder angles on the black , liek around teh first girls face. Or maybe seperate the face a little more, becasue it just looks liek faces with face paint on you know?

Enmity

04-03-2010, 10:27 AM

suggestion taken...

pretty much what jape said .. it depends on the brand of paint and the water/paint ratio and the quality of the brush and type .. pretty much alot of practice and just knowing what the brush is going to do once it hits the canvas.

I'm hyped about this one-The "V" is going to be a see through rose bud type of thing, the "I" is going to a plant or something, th "P" is going to be 3-d, the "E" and "R" will just come along. I hate when a sketched canvas comes out looking good, I almost want to do the same exact thing on another canvas and paint that one. Anyone agree?

05-06-2010, 01:14 AM

for real if you put the right price on them i know the homies would all want at least one at well
if you have access to the right equipment you can print those onto canvas yourself and sell them.... i think that would be a better method for people who would want to do work on top of them, and keep the originals as is.
any way thats a lot of talk.... heres a canvas, i havent contributed much to this thread
http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj89/dankmob/8dda7ca6.jpg
http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj89/dankmob/fad9a8e8.jpg
in progress, what do you think?
im considering adding a character at the bottom and some smallerish writing at the top right, something/anything to even it out,, as it stands, the canvas doesnt look correct hanging level, with the font going sideways the canvas looks like is should be hanging sideways....

also something maybe to make the S pop a little more, it's suppose to be DEUS/SAGE
i was thinking something as simple as double outlining the S will make it look better, or moving the S so its "on top" of the U as well as the A
did any of that make sense?

Tony Yayo on that MIA beat... i duno the song name... i'd guess its bang bang?
I could google it, but im lazy

and I just put a thicker yellow outline around the S
and added some highlights to the blue bubbles in the background..
ill get a picture from the people i gave it to, at some point, and post it up
i wanted it to be done with, i'm doing another one soon for our homie(Sinz) who fell off a roof a month ago and is still hopsitalized. deuSinz , so i'll def be playing with that style. layout again..

thanks for the feedback ani! i kinda waitin to see what you had to say.. always good thought out critiquez... really feelin the new pieces.... your titles suggest the concept, so its up to the viewer to make that connection, your ideas are usually bigger than the canvas, an in a cloud only half way in or a letter being cut off. i think it makes the viewer feel exclusive as in they are in on a little secret, or being allowed to view this moment as a gift. i do however like it when your trains are a little more dirty/streeky, but then again..... im a dirty bastard =)
